Can someone explain this problem to me?? After a price reduction of x%, an item has its price increased to its original value. What was the percent of increase? Express your answer as a common fraction in terms of x.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{-100(100+x)}{(x-100)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the item = p

Let there was q% of increase on the original value, so

the printed price of the item, [tex]C= p+p \frac{q}{100}=p(1+\frac{q}{100})[/tex]

After a price reduction of x%, the has its price increased to its original value, so,

[tex]C-C\times \frac {x}{100} =[/tex] original price + increased price

[tex]p(1+\frac{q}{100})-p(1+\frac{q}{100})\times \frac {x}{100} = p+p[/tex]

[tex](1+\frac{q}{100})-(1+\frac{q}{100})\times \frac{x}{100} =2[/tex]

[tex]-(1+\frac{q}{100})\times \frac{x}{100} =2-1-\frac{q}{100}[/tex]

[tex]-(1+\frac{q}{100})\times \frac{x}{100} =1-\frac{q}{100}[/tex]

[tex](1+\frac{q}{100})\times \frac{x}{100} =\frac{q}{100}-1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{100}+\frac{q}{100}\times\frac{x}{100}-\frac{q}{100}=-1[/tex]

[tex]x+x \times \frac{q}{100}-q=-100[/tex]

[tex]q(\frac{x}{100}-1)=-100-x[/tex]

[tex]q=\frac{-100(100+x)}{(x-100)}[/tex]

Hence, the percent of the increase is [tex]\frac{-100(100+x)}{(x-100)}[/tex]

Tim thinks that the following expression will only yield values that are positive. x^2

Is Tim correct? Explain why or why not and provide three examples that prove whether Tim’s statement is correct.

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that Tim is correct when he says that the expression x² only yields values that are positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

Plug in and checking x = 1 and x = -1 in the expression

Putting x = 1 in the expression

x²= (1)² = 1

Putting x = -1 in the expression

x²= (-1)² = 1

Thus, the expression yields the same output '1' when we enter x = 1, and x=-1.

Plug in and checking x = 2 and x = -2 in the expression

Putting x = 2 in the expression

x²= (2)² = 4

Putting x = -1 in the expression

x²= (-2)² = 4

Thus, the expression yields the same output '4' when we enter x = 2, and x=-2.

Plug in and checking x = 3 and x = -3 in the expression

Putting x = 3 in the expression

x²= (3)² = 9

Putting x = -1 in the expression

x²= (-3)² = 9

Thus, the expression yields the same output '9' when we enter x = 3, and x=-3.

The reason why the expression x² only yields positive values because the expression is in the square form, and the square of any number will always yield a positive value, no matter whether the input number is negative or positive.

Therefore, we conclude that Tim is correct when he says that the expression x² only yields values that are positive.

What is the equation of the line through the points (1, 1), (5, 4), (9, 7) and (13, 10)? y=3/4x+1/4
y=4/3x+1/3
y=3/4x−1/4
y=4/3x−1/3
Please help

Answers

Answer:

y = 3/4 x + 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

line through the points (1, 1), (5, 4)

slope (m) = (4 - 1) / (5 - 1) = 3/4

y = mx + b       b = y - mx   ... for point (1 , 1)

b = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

Line: y = 3/4 x + 1/4

check for point (9 , 7):     3/4 * 9 + 1/4 = 28/4 = 7

find the values of x in [0,360) which satisfy 2cot^2x=-3cscx

Answers

Answer:

The values of x is -30 degrees and undefined

None of these values fall within the given range

Thus, no value within the given range is the solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x that works for the equation in the selected range

2cot^2x = -3csc x

Mathematically, from trigonometry;

cot^2x = csc^2x - 1

Substitute this above

2(csc^2x - 1)= -3csc x

let csc x = b

2(b^2-1) = -3b

2b^2 - 2 + 3b = 0

2b^2 + 3b - 2 = 0

2b^2 + 4b - b - 2 = 0

2b(b+ 2) - 1( b + 2) = 0

(2b-1)(b + 2) = 0

2b = 1

b = -2

b = 1/2 = 0.5

or b = -2

Recall;

csc x = b

x = csc^-1 b

x = csc^-1 0.5

x = undefined

Secondly;

b = -2

x = csc^-1 (-2)

x = -30 degrees

As we can see , between the points

0 ≤ x < 360

None of our answers fall in these range

a. exactly one of the two requirements;
b. at least one of the requirements;
c. neither requirement.

Answers

Answer:

Exactly one = (25 + 40) = 65

B.) Atleast one :

Bill wanted to try out different water craft he went 62 mikes downstream in a motor boat and 27 mikes down stream on a jest ski his speed on the jet ski was 10 mph faster than the motor boat bill spent a total of 4 hours on the water what was his speed in the motor boat

Answers

Answer:

The speed on motorboat is 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

here, we want to find the speed on the motorboat

if he has a speed of x mph on the motor boat, his speed on the ski will be (x + 10) mph

The total hours is 4 hours

Mathematically; speed = distance/time

Time on ski is 27/x+ 10

Time on motor boat is 62/x

The addition of both is 4

Thus;

27/(x + 10) + 62/x = 4

27(x) + 62(x + 10) = 4(x)(x + 10)

27x + 62x + 620 = 4(x^2 + 10x)

89x + 620 = 4x^2 + 40x

4x^2 -49x-620 = 0

using the quadratic formula;

{-b ± √(b^2-4ac)}/2a

where a = 4, b = -49 and c = -620

= 49 ± √(-49)^2-4(4)(-620)/8

So we have

49+ 111/8 or 49-111/8

Speed cannot be negative

(49 + 111)/8

= 20 mph

nothing sorry.......

Expand the brackets. Collect like terms. Get the same values on each side so it’s easier to isolate a. Divide 9 from 9a so that u get a by itself and this gives u the answer if 36/9 or 4.

Answer:

a = 4  

Step-by-step explanation:

first distrubute the 3 and then 2 in the equations to whatever is inside the parantheses:

3 ( 1-9a) + 22a = 2(2a-9) -15

3 - 27a + 22a = 4a - 18 - 15

then combine the terms:

3 - 5a = 4a -33

then isolate the variables and constants to one side, for example move the 5a to the right side of the equation and move the 33 to the left side of the equaiton and then simplfy

36 = 9a

divide both sides by 9

a = 4

Answers

Answer:

Which number is the slope of the line shown by the equation?

B. 40

Which number is the y-intercept

D.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Equation of a line =

y = mx+b

where:

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Hence, interpreting the above question:

On a two-week job, a repairman works a total of 70 hours,He charges 75$ plus 40$ per hour.

x is the number of hours and y is the total fee.

Hence, the Equation we have is:

y = $40 × x + 75

y = 40x + 75

Comparing with the Equation of a line formula

= y = mx+b

Therefore:

The slope of the line = 40

The y intercept = 75

Answer:

12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try the guess method.

3:1      3 + 1 = 4     4 is too low. We need a sum of 16.

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 2.

6:2     6 + 2 = 8   8 is still too low

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.

12:4    12 + 4 = 16    16 is correct.
